Sam Koekemoer
Where am I from?
I was born in Somerset West, a short distance outside of Cape Town South Africa. I studied at Stellenbosch University and have lived and worked all over Cape Town, now living in a small town over the mountains called Greyton.
Why did I join FunnelBud?
I was consulting with SharpSpring Agencies when Yusuf offered me a full-time position at FunnelBud. This was an irresistible offer to help create the type of company that I would want for myself, without needing to manage administrative overheads.
What do I enjoy doing most at FunnelBud?
I love doing anything that has a high impact on our employees or clients, for example, finding solutions to seemingly impossible problems and writing easy to understand help articles that make SharpSpring features easy to understand and help clients achieve their goals.
Skills, education, courses completed:
I have worked with SharpSpring since October 2015, with four years of experience in technical customer service and operational management before that.
Fun facts:
I’m trying to grow as much of my own food as is practically possible. I have a huge herb garden, grow all my own sweet and hot peppers (in season) and a few other veggies. I have an awesome dog and five beautiful Rhode Island Red chickens.
Hobbies:
Reading, long walks or hikes (I can walk out of my front door, choose a direction and just start walking!), self-sufficient farming and building things with my hands.
